We use Purex Free Clear. I know it's not recommended because of the brighteners, but we've had no problems after 18 months of washings. I really wish there were other cloth approved options readily available in our area.

I use Kirkland environmentally friendly detergent from Costco. It works really well and is well priced. According to Costco it "features biodegradable cleaning agents and plant based formulas; contains no phosphates, dyes, optical brighteners or bleaches." So it seems like a good choice.

I use Purex Free and Clear and it works fabulously! I also put in a scoop of oxiclean. I love that I can pick both up at our local stuffmart, rather than having to order it from somewhere or drive to our not-as-local natural foods store.

I just received my first cloth diapers in the mail this week and have not even thought about washing them yet. (Baby will not be here for another month.) But, I have heard good things about Charlie's soap and plan to start with that one.

I've used BioKleen liquid, Nellie's Laundy Soda, and baking soda/simple green. I have a box of tiny bubbles ready to try and I'm getting a sample of Sunday's Wash (etsy shop) nursery detergent in the mail soon.
